    despite the fact that i showed how the masked arab cited weak hadiths and fabricated narration from al-tabari, and the fact that the tafsires he cited non of them claim literal interpretation after all of that it's not worthy to respond to him?


    Well i can't really bothered to sift through your dross to find the good points you are making. Your reputation precedes you. You are going to have to make it a bit easier. What is the single best point you make?

    Found one good point from you. He confused 'sahih in chain' with 'sahih'.  Although it is pretty obviously an honest and not massively significant mistake.

    Are there any other good points? If so, what is the best?


    Edit: I changed my mind. Not such a great point afterall, since there was a version graded sahih. You point out that it was graded sahih by a modern scholar. That seems pretty irrelevant. He didn't claim it was graded sahih by anybody in particular. Only that it was graded sahih and gave the reference.


    actually you are wrong he said and i quote "yah the hadith is sahih, highest authenticity" he explicitly said that the hadith he cited is the highest authenticity when clearly anyone who read carfull it says "sahih in chain" and as i demonstrated in my article, the hadiths that are classified as sahih in chain only are not considered authentic

    because the hadith is consistent of two parts
    sanad and Matin
    Sanad is the chain of narration, the narrators who are orally transmitting a hadith
    Matin is the raw text of the hadith
    in order for a hadith to be considred Sahih hadith, both Sanad and Matin must be connected and considered authentic
    the hadith brought by the masked arab is not authentic in matin
    subsequently making it not authentic as a hole

    i also noticed you ignored the part where i talked about him citing a fabricated narration from al-tabari

    Good luck debunking MA. He backs his claims up with solid sources that are available to everyone. He works hard to make his arguments airtight in ways that other youtubers come no where close to.

    However, I'll give your blog a read when I can.


    MA did mess up on the one hadith which was claimed to not be from a chain of narrations with Urwa. At least when I looked it up it seems to be. Although the translation used the word Erwa rather than Urwa. Others can confirm or deny this who can read Arabic.

    single best point? what I'm trying to point out is the following
    the masked arab claimed that wajadah is found 35 times in the Quran, when a simple search on Quran.com will show him that it's over 200 more there, the other issue is that he challenged muslims to show one example of the word wajadah in the Quran outside location use, i have more than one i gave 7 examples, so his challange is answered
    i also pointed out how he made an error in his facebook post citing the same hadith where he claim that it's authentic since i casted doubt on it, however after only 2 mintes of research i found out that the source he gave in his Facebook post is not a classical work of sayuti and albani but rather a modern revolutionist scholar who wrote the book in 2008 and as the intructuon of his book says this book is just to clear up duplicated hadiths to make it easier to read, i looked up the source of the hadith used in the book he cited using the same hadith number to find out that al albani is referring to sunnan abu dawood, i looked up sunnan abu dawood and low and behold the hadith is classified as sahih in chain only
    later on i show that he fabricated the narration of al tabari, only few pages later al-tabari the man himself cited by the masked arab is claiming that the narration used by the masked arab is not authentic, so the masked arab is either a terrible researcher or that he lied here
    later on i show how non of the tafsirs he cited claims literal interpretation, what makes matters worse is that he cited a shia tafsir at the end to verify his claim the issue here is that the tafsir is shia which makes the overwhelming majority of muslims reject it, and it was written after the discovery of the sun being larger, so that tafsir is very late

    do you see now?

    Girls reach puberty from 8-12 accommodating with 3 years of biological changes in their body, if you are saying by that that i approve a 53 year old marriage to a 9 year old then go and insult the doctors at the university of Chicago and almost every other scientific who makes the claim that girls reach puberty at the age of 8 or 9,


    I agree with the other posters, that your positions are not clearly articulated.   I only wished to emphasize the point that reaching puberty did no mean a girl was ready for the consequences of marriage.  If we agree, good.

    And lastly. I believe that Mohammed was  just a  man of his times.   I don't believe he or any one in this world ever had a direct connection to god, as I am an athiest.

    i ask you for your single best point, and the first thing you present is something which in your blog you concede "is irrelevant". It really is irrelevant. I don't know or care which of you has the more accurate word count. I notice that word counts often do vary widely. Maybe he was counting the specific word, whereas you were also including variations of it. Whatever.

    But then you finally do get on to the crux of the matter. i.e the 'challenge' and I agree that this does appear to be your most direct attack on his overall argument.

    You describe his challenge in the following way: "he challenged muslims to show one example of the word wajadah in the Quran outside location use". But that isn't the challenge at all. The challenge in his own words is:

    "I challenge anyone to show me an example of where this word is used in the quran to indicate something that is only from the visual perspective of someone."

    The challenge is to find an instance of the word being used to describe how something appeared to somebody, but in reality was not the case. In each of your examples, whatever was 'found' to be the case, was in fact the case in reality.

    Quote
    Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)?


    did it only seem like he as an orphan, but in reality he had parents? No, he 'found' him to be an orphan precisely because he was in reality, an orphan.

    Quote
    They said, "We found our fathers worshiping them."


    Were their fathers only seemingly worshipping idols, but not in reality? No. they really were worshipping them. That is precisely why they we 'found' to be doing so.

    Quote
    And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.


    Was it only an apparent wandering from the incorrect perspective of someone? No. You have not understood what the challenge is. You present some other examples, but it's the same pattern.

    "Girl also play violent video games so there goes that argument"
    i never said they don't don't strawman me, dolls are primarily a female thing, and saying that girls who keep dolls or teady bears are children is out most idiotic, my own sister is one year older than me she is 25 and she have dolls she is a college graduate, all her friends aswell have dolls, are they all children to you?


    You still used it as an example thus still a stereotype. You are still ignoring that a doll is consider idolatry. The exception for children is based on the verse by Aisha about dolls itself. That is my point. Dolls within Islam are for children only. If an adult has one then they are are breaking idolatry rulings

    Sorry I wasn't specific enough. Kecia Ali view on hadith is an opinion only.

    Quote
    i cited academic sources and references all agree that you can't just look at someone sexually attracted to children and immediately label them as pedophiles, also they said that if someone follows a tradition or religion that allow them for child marriage they are not pedophiles, that is not what I'm saying at all that is what academics and sexologist say
    " Everything after it does more damage then good. For example "The Jurisprudence have made the judgment in marriage and gave permission to young ones under one condition that they are to be consulted in marriage and they should reach adulthood or pass nine years of age" Notice there is no mention of puberty just an age requirement. "


    I already said these were fine

    adulthood is when they are mentally and physically ready, notice how i provided academic and biological sources that even at the age of 8 you can still hit puberty, these are all undisputed academic sources, and the university of Chicago is not the only place where you can find such claim, but i also noticed how you ignored all the sources i gave from classical scholars where they explicitly say that child marriage is only allowed if there is special benefit for the child, I.e giving your child to a rich man so she can grow up in a rich house, non of them said that you can give away your child to a husband who is sexually attracted to her, Infact almost all of them agree that if the husband is sexually deviant he should not be handled to the child, but rather wait for her to be ready, notice how many of them said that she should not be handled if she will be damaged [/quote]

    Hit puberty but not finish puberty. There is a difference. I never ignored these sources. These sources are the very ones I said did more harm than good. You contradict yourself by providing ground for child marriage.

    I said it was hard to read not that I didn't understand it. Also the blog's format seems smaller than whatever you used to type up the article thus distorts what you wrote by forcing line drops and paraphrases.

    Quote

    Mistakes such as? as for child molester this is also addressed in the academic sources i provided, but he still doesn't fall under child molester purely because he was following his tradition


    Tradition is irrelevant as child abuse is not dictate by culture. Also your argument is relativistic so I can use the same argument against Islam. Islam is not longer suitable in modern cultures, done.

    Quote
    let me ask you for real, why is it only anti-islam polemicists such as yourself i assume, and TMA or any ex muslim claim Muhammad is a pedophile but when you present your argument to any sexologist they will not take it seriously when they immediately know that Muhammad was simply following his tradition?


    I never said pedophile. I said child molester. Tradition is irrelevant, it only shows the human nature of Islam in which human standards are acceptable  Again the same argument can be used against Islam."

    "I provided an example within my comment. Also look up what anachronism means then reread your blog with that in mind."
    you didn't read your original comment this is what you said "You are using anachronisms to argue your point which make it irrelevant" that is it, just that no example was given

    "Quote
    "Also you are using stereotypes to argue your point which also make these irrelevant. "


    I provided an example in the comment. Read it again.
    "

    i think you are referring to the example of boys and girls being both can play violent video games

    which is again I NEVER SAID that violent video games are exclusive to boys, please don't strawman me

    "Quote

    where did said and make a statement similar to that? all i did is comment on HIS insults that is it, then proceed to the refutation

    "That is my point. Dolls within Islam are for children only."

    "Sorry I wasn't specific enough. Kecia Ali view on hadith is an opinion only. "
    same as the scholars he cited in his video where he shared videos of scholars in an interview condoning (or seams so) pedophilia, these are also opinions, so let me guess, the masked arab according to you can cite opinions, i can't?

    "Hit puberty but not finish puberty. There is a difference. I never ignored these sources. These sources are the very ones I said did more harm than good. You contradict yourself by providing ground for child marriage."

    why are they the harmful ones? where did i provide ground for child marriage, these are Not my opinion, here let me make it simple
    the masked arab claimed that you can marry a child even in cradle for no reason
    i showed that there need to be a special benefit as juries claim in order to have a child marriage, not that you can go and marry a child for no reason
    he claimed that you can have sex with a child even when they are in cradle or no matter what age they are
    i showed that not only he mistranslated the sources but that is a total nonsense, and i provided classical sources to back up my claim

    "Tradition is irrelevant as child abuse is not dictate by culture. Also your argument is relativistic so I can use the same argument against Islam. Islam is not longer suitable in modern cultures, done.

    "I never said pedophile. I said child molester. Tradition is irrelevant, it only shows the human nature of Islam in which human standards are acceptable  Again the same argument can be used against Islam"

    and again how do you diffine child molester, how do sexologist define child molester? do they apply it on someone who is simply following the tradition?

    you have to provide academic sources to backup your claims, can you show me an academic who claims that a child molester can be also applied to anyone who is also following a tradition or religion?

    and next time don't use the quote function as it makes your comment so long, simply copy my statement as quote and quote and reply under it

    Ok it seams that you don't speak Arabic that is when when you said
    "Maybe he was counting the specific word, whereas you were also including variations of it. Whatever."
    this is not correct, the words i used are the exact root of the very word he used, the variations are dependent on the speaker for example if i use wajadah it's referring to a male , if i use wajadat, it's referring to female, if i use wajadtu, it's referring to myself
    the tweak comes from first person perspective or so on, despite that the word remains the same in the same root the same use the same meaning
    i didn't strawman his challenge at all
    the word wajadah has two uses as most, either for location, or visual perspective (or thought perspective as you can put it) if we are focusing of visual perspective then it's correct for me to claim that his challenge is where to use the word wajadah outside location perspective, because what else can use use wajadh other than location? will vision is the most common outside of it

    "
    Were their fathers only seemingly worshiping idols, but not in reality? No. they really were worshiping them. That is precisely why they we 'found' to be doing so.

    Was it only an apparent wandering from the incorrect perspective of someone? No. You have not understood what the challenge is. You present some other examples, but it's the same pattern."

    ok you are having knee jerking reaction, you didn't criticize my examples so let's go throw each one you cited
    the first one is where it says "don't you find the orphan?" let me ask you when you look at someone and say i found him an orphan does this mean in location spectrum? of course not, therefore it's of visual perspective

    as for the last one of worshiping idols, let us see, if we apply the masked arab logic "we found them in place worshiping idols" then please tell me does this make sense to you? do you find people in terms of location worshiping idols, or do you observe them in terms of visuals as they are worshiping idols?

    so no it's not the same pattern you have not presented a single logical response to my examples, anyone who think logically will clearly say that when i say "i found them worshiping idols" will clearly understand that i was speaking from my visual perspective NOT location perspective therefore the patterns are not the same, therefore his challenge is answered

    Quote
    the words i used are the exact root of the very word he used


    Here they say the root is found 107 times. http://corpus.quran.com/qurandictionary.jsp?q=wjd#%2818:86:6%29 You say over 200. It is totally unsurprising that different word counts can be arrived at. It is the main reason those word count miracles are so unimpressive. We both agree that the number is irrelevant. If it's over 200, then it will be even easier for you to find an example of its use where it meets the challenge.

    The challenge is to find an instance of the use of the word describing something that is NOT the case. Something that APPEARS to be the case (found to be the case). But is not the case in reality.

    TheMaskedArab does also add the qualifier 'visual', but in the context of his argument, it isn't actually relevant (and i'm sure he'd be happy to omit it). Any kind of perspective at all will suffice. A blind person can still mistakenly 'find' a state of affairs to be the case. But the question is, does the quran ever use the word to describe a state of affairs that is mistakenly 'found' to be the case?
    None of the examples you present are instances of this.



    Quote
    if we are focusing of visual perspective then it's correct for me to claim that his challenge is where to use the word wajadah outside location perspective


    I don't know what you mean by 'location perspective'. The important distinction is between something that was apparent, but was not actual; and something that was apparent because it was actual.


    Quote
    let me ask you when you look at someone and say i found him an orphan does this mean in location spectrum? of course not, therefore it's of visual perspective


    When you say you found an orphan, it means that your senses have led you to believe that you have found an orphan. The question is whether or not your conclusion is accurate. The question is whether or not the sun really was found to actually be in a muddy spring, or whether it was merely a sensory (in this case visual) experience, that didn't actually describe reality.

    Maybe you dreampt finding an orphan. Maybe you did find a kid, but the kid lied about being an orphan. Maybe the kid thought he was an orphan but was mistaken himself. In the case of the sun setting in a muddy spring, and in the case of you finding an orphan, you could say that your senses have deceived you, and have not accurately described reality. Although it APPEARED as if the sun was setting in a muddy spring from an individual's perspective, in reality it was not. Although you found it to be the case that this kid is an orphan, you could have got it wrong.

    The response to the claim that the sun really was found to be setting in a muddy spring, is precisely this defense - It merely appeared to be the case, but was not in reality. It's not an unreasonable response. The problem that TheMaskedArab has with this response however, is that whenever the word 'found' is used in the quran, it always describes something that IS the case in reality. Including the other instance of its use in the very same verse.

    This is why you would have a good counterargument IF you could find an example of the word being used to describe something that was only an appearance (perspective/belief/point of view), but was not reality.

    Nothing you are saying about 'location spectrum' is relevant, and i don't know what you even mean by it.

    the masked arab claimed that you can marry a child even in cradle for no reason


    By you never thought this rebuttal thought. You were so focused on cradle robbing that you failed to realize you just quoted a source which still allows a child marriage with an age restrict not a puberty restriction.

    you have to provide academic sources to backup your claims, can you show me an academic who claims that a child molester can be also applied to anyone who is also following a tradition or religion?


    Irrelevant as child molestation is an act that does not exempt religion nor traditions. Your reliance on tradition is special pleading.

    There are some things you'd argue for on the Internet that if you were to argue in a room full of people would leave you thoroughly ashamed.

    Would you justify marriage of 8 year old or sexual relationship if a minor to any adult at least 18 years of age? No? Then screw what your warped misinterpretation of scientific literature States - it's plain wrong. You are justifying the most perverse aspect of Muhammad's career as a self proclaimed Messiah.

    as for the last one of worshiping idols, let us see, if we apply the masked arab logic "we found them in place worshiping idols" then please tell me does this make sense to you? do you find people in terms of location worshiping idols, or do you observe them in terms of visuals as they are worshiping idols?


    There are places called shrines, temples, grooves, etc. Study religion outside of Islam. Beside if people are doing anything there is a location. Right now my location is my home. Get the idea?

    ok there is a reason why i say reply with logic and not ad homnienm, you are another example why i don't allow insults in my blog

    if you have a problem present it as
    "ok here is your claim A
    and here is the problem according to B and C and sources
    therefore your claim falls apart"

    this is how you reply

    not insults, now as for my position regarding child marriage there is a reason why i call this refutation, my blog is meant to refute him not to present my argument also read my previous posts here where i explained my stance regarding hadith

    and no where does the verse i cited use the word shrine or temples or anything similar to it, if it does it will say "we found them worshiping them in temples" but no where does the verse make such statement it state the following "we found our fathers worshiping them" i.e they look at their fathers observe them either by watching them pray or having historical record of them worshiping, this is not an indication of location, any common sense observer will easily say this is saying (we found them) as in visual not location

    if i saw i found you sad, it means i found you in a condition which means i found you in visual perspective, the location is not relevant, i didn't say "i found you sad in your house" or "i found you sad in your school"

    i simply said "i found you(or him) sad" that is it

    Re-read your work again. I am not the only one telling you about the insults in your post. Do you see me mocking your logic as childish? That type of tripe is used to gain emotional appeal. Both of you did it, this does not make it right anyways.

    No he didn't. He used scholars as a source as in ahadith. You used a scholars opinion on ahadith backed by nothing. There is no evidence for the reason for her belief. It is an opinion, that is it. Just like the opinion MA mocked. I already told your your health science articles are fine, stop bring it up. Those are backed by evidence.

    The very quote is from your blog. It sets an maturity limit in one case and an age in the other. The age is 9 while your own health science sources shows 9 is not standard. The quote is an exception to the very puberty claim you are making.

    By you never thought this rebuttal thought. You were so focused on cradle robbing that you failed to realize you just quoted a source which still allows a child marriage with an age restrict not a puberty restriction.

    It is still an endorsement. You crippled your own argument and provided evidence for MA's.

    "scholars have agreed that child marriage is not allowed until there is special benefits for her
    scholars agreed that you can't have sex with a child before they are physically capable to handle it
    the masked arab claimed that a man can have sexual intercourse with a child at any age, i showed he mistranslated several sources to justify this claim, and he claimed that you can marry at any age for no reason at all, i demanded evidence for that"
    my argument is as above the statment
    your statment was as follows
    "The very quote is from your blog. It sets an maturity limit in one case and an age in the other. The age is 9 while your own health science sources shows 9 is not standard. The quote is an exception to the very puberty claim you are making"
    this is a red herring because this is not my main argument
    the reason why i brought this up is because the masked arab claimed that verse 65:4 in the quran talks about girls who have not yet menstruated , so i brought up the argument that girls reach puberty at the age of 8-12 in which it occurred BEFORE menstruation

    "Your own source contradicts you."
    such as? where? and what is my argument?

    "See above. Is consummation of marriage not required?"

    it's not allowed until they are physically ready

    "This is a red herring as I am not talking about what MA said. I am talking about what you said and what source you provided in your own blog. "
    this is not a red herring, I'm addressing the masked arab directly which means if you address me you are then speaking from TMA potion


    "Yet part of your argument shows that there is an exception. Your sources show the beginning of puberty not the end of it. You are create a conclusion your sources do not support.

    In your rush to undermine MA you undermined your own argument on your own without help. I already told you that you didn't think your arguments through properly. You still making the same mistake."

    so far you are claiming my sources undermine me yet you provided no logical reason and you didn't even presented my view in the first place to even claim my sources undermine my position
    here is my potion
    the masked arab claims that verse 65:4 reference to girls who didn't reach puberty, i asked for evidence for that, then i proceeded that girls who didn't maturated already hit puberty 3 years ago
    then i proceed into his arguments which are two
    islam allow sex with children at an age, i reply to that by showing his mistranslated and sources that actually claim you can't have sex at any age, but when she is physically ready
    he claimed you can marry at any age for no reason, i provided sources that claims the opposite

    "I read it your blog, where do you think I got the reference about the exception from...... It didn't say of any age, it said 9. You are becoming willfully ignorant rather than admitting your mistake. Your source is list under Issue #8. "

    and where do you claim i contradict it? at no point
    in Issue#8 this is what is says
    "According to Dr.Muhammad Rafat uthman a member of the Islamic research section in Al-Azhar University
    He state the following
    “لفقهاء أفاضوا في مسألة الزواج فأوضحوا جواز ذلك للصغيرات لكن بشرط أن تستأذن في الزواج وأن تكون بلغت أو تجاوزت سنّ التاسعة”[38]

    Translate into: The Jurisprudence have made the judgment in marriage and gave permission to young ones under one condition that they are to be consulted in marriage and they should reach adulthood or pass nine years of age
    But don’t take my word for it, take the word of one of the most influence grand muftis in the Middle East Dr.Ali Jum’a"

    I'm simply playing the same game of authority the masked arab is saying by citing my own sources that disagree with him, what are you talking about? are you not a careful reader?

    "
    It doesn't have to as it is an action that goes beyond tradition and religion. Not my problem you use moral relativism as a defense which undermines Islam completely. Hilarious.

    Red herring, we are not talking whither or not it actually sits, this all falls down on Dul-Qaranain wither he was stupid or not, we are talking about how HE SAW IT
